I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in L'aquila

19/07/2026: Lake view and pleasant atmosphere. The food is good, but the prices are decidedly excessive. The appetizer was good, but overpriced for the quantity served. It's a shame, because the place is worth it.

12/07/2026: Excellent experience, nothing to say

26/02/2026: Beautiful location and good food, but few vegetarian options. The service is mediocre and needs improvement, and the owner is truly unfriendly. We booked for lunch with a two-and-a-half-year-old, and when we arrived, there wasn't even a high chair available. When we asked for parmesan cheese to put on the polenta with the sauce, the hostess replied irritably, "We don't use that here." During service, the staff spilled water on the table and didn't even bother to mop it up. We asked for two bitters and were charged for them—nothing wrong with that, except that other customers were offered them!

07/02/2026: Piano B is a truly delightful discovery in the heart of Rocca di Cambio. This bistro perfectly blends a traditional mountain atmosphere with a modern, refined style, creating a warm, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere. The decor features natural materials like wood, the lighting is soft, and the atmosphere is intimate and well-organized, just as the photos on social media demonstrate. The location is excellent, central, and extremely convenient for those visiting the area, even first-time visitors. As for the food, we ordered: • a classic beef tartare, meaning raw meat, extremely fresh and of excellent quality, with well-balanced flavors • a portion of classic fries, crispy and well-fried • polenta with mushrooms, served hot and flavorful (we chose not to add truffle for personal taste) • lentils and potatoes, off the menu, a simple yet authentic dish, reminiscent of traditional local cuisine • a scamorza cheese melted with duck speck, truly excellent, tasty, and well-balanced To accompany our meal, we ordered a bottle of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, expertly recommended by the staff. The wine was discounted, as was the final bill: €74, rounded up to €70. At the end of the meal, a further gesture of great hospitality: we were offered two grappas, a detail that is always appreciated and leaves an even better memory of the experience. A special mention goes to waiter Gabriele, who served us with great attention and professionalism. He was truly skilled at recommending what was truly worth trying, guiding us through both on- and off-menu dishes with sincerity and expertise, without ever being intrusive. This is a significant added value, especially for those unfamiliar with the local cuisine. Seating is limited, so reservations are strongly recommended on weekends and holidays. The only small point that could be improved is the menu, which offers limited choices. In my opinion, expanding it by adding new options, without removing existing ones, would make the offering even more comprehensive. Overall, it was a very positive experience in every way: quality ingredients, well-executed dishes, pleasant atmosphere, excellent location, and excellent value. A well-deserved five stars, we'll definitely be back.

18/04/2026: Il Boscaiolo is a sure thing: excellent food, a welcoming atmosphere, and meticulous attention to detail. Special thanks go to Concenzio, the true soul of the restaurant: his presence makes all the difference. Always welcoming, genuine, and attentive, he manages to make every guest feel at home, transforming a simple dinner into a special moment. It's clear how much he loves his job, and this passion is evident in everything, from the impeccable service to the vibrant energy in the dining room.

29/03/2026: Excellent food, very good arrosticini for two with a first course and 15 arrosticini with potatoes and water, we spent 59 euros. The only negative note was that at the table next to us, some of the staff were arguing about family matters, even explicitly, so I gave one star to the environment.

18/03/2026: I'll be back!! Excellent food and a cozy atmosphere!!! Best regards, Pacher Transport, Austria.

30/01/2026: Excellent treat for business dinners.

29/03/2026: I went for lunch today. The only positive thing was the waiter. For what we ate, the price was too high, and the staff was rude, cold, and inadequate. I strongly advise against it.

05/06/2026: Don't be fooled by the exterior. The service is very friendly. The pizza was the best we've had on our holiday so far. We can also highly recommend the tiramisu.

01/05/2026: Authentic yet innovative cuisine. Excellent and friendly service.

10/05/2026: The owners are friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They serve meat, fish, and pizza. The restaurant is quiet and always has tables available.

07/04/2026: I dined here with friends and found it to be excellent value for money. Quality products and friendly, helpful staff. An experience worth repeating. Congratulations!

06/09/2025: The COCOS BAR is the ideal choice for a break inside the Riva Verde Water Park. It offers a varied menu ranging from quick dishes like sandwiches and chips to more complete options like seafood specialties and salads. It's a practical and convenient option for refueling without leaving the fun of the park.

21/08/2025: We were guests at Riva Verde and enjoyed this bar. Excellent pizza, excellent service, and very kind and professional staff. I recommend it. Prices are normal.

15/01/2026: Excellent cappuccino, friendly owner, quiet and welcoming atmosphere. We'll be back tomorrow for the croissant with Chantilly cream 😍

20/12/2025: It's a pleasant environment to be in, especially for the boy and girl, who are always impeccable.

20/07/2026: The food wasn't bad, but considering the location, the prices are a bit high. The roasts were tasty and tender, but I prefer them a little charred.

29/03/2026: The place is noisy, unfortunately, and also cold (temperature). Very classic. The appetizer was good, but considering the price and the space, it was a bit cramped. Tagliatelle were excellent and plentiful. The scamorza cheese was also good. Park on the street if you can find it, otherwise on a bend 200 meters away.

03/05/2026: We had dinner and had a great time. The arrosticini were very good. The staff was very friendly and my grandchildren had fun playing with their son Antonio. Thanks for the evening.

01/05/2026: You can't come to Abruzzo and eat arrosticini worse than those you buy at the supermarket. Plus, they're too expensive for the quality, hard, and dry. Not to mention the wait times. Not recommended for tourists. Then you understand why there's room on a holiday, almost empty.

21/04/2026: Super lamb, exceptional first courses, rustic and spartan atmosphere, discreet service

13/05/2026: I eat very well, I'm completely satisfied.

21/02/2026: We went tonight for the first time and we'll never go back! The food was pitiful to say the least. The hot/cold appetizer featured dirty mussels. I ordered the paccheri and they were completely raw! The roast fish was completely raw and the fried fish was extremely salty! I won't tell you the price for NOT HAVING EATEN.... And we even told the waiter when he asked us: "Is everything okay?" And as if nothing had happened...

12/07/2026: I had lunch here with my family, and to say it was excellent is an understatement. The food is delicious. I finally rediscovered the atmosphere of an old-fashioned family-run restaurant. The portions are generous and the staff are all very kind.
